left Anxian the two basic requirements

1. Left hand sign of the mean.


in classical guitar in his left thumb is not used to Anxian. Thumb and his left arm on the technical essentials and asked us to lectures in the third already have in detail. Now we turn to the left means right Anxian the two most basic requirements.


⑴ stand up: is from the arms, wrists, back of the hand to form a circle all that after the end of the finger joints as far as possible to perpendicular to the fingerboard with the fingertips to the top of the Fang Xiangli up down Anxian . As long as people have a basic knowledge of physics is very easy to understand only force perpendicular to the panel, the An Xian minimum force possible, the most effort. If the end of the joints vertical Anxian, not only with greater force, the left hand fatigue and tension, and they often push or pull the strings will lead to the next pitch deviation. 2,3 refers generally very easy to do stand up, 1,4 that is not easy to stand very well. And 1,4-physiological relationship that often because inward Shoulong more difficult to stand up but we should try to stand up Anxian to high standards. Will gradually improve over time up until fully established, please diligently practiced. The plasticity of human physiology is a great, almost any well-trained guitarist and guitar player can stand all that well. From these small details can often be seen training and education received by a person specifications and stringent.


⑵ place: the guitar sound technology is a demanding instrument, while the guitar is also very vulnerable to noise. In addition to the right hand technique often leads to incorrect volume of weak, thin tone and a lot of noise outside the incorrect position of the left hand Anxian often produce a lot of noise, so that would have attractive and pleasing guitar into a boring, noisy-down \noise music. \An Xian is left in place when each Anxian products should be as close as possible columns, but do not let your fingers stay on until goods or column by column to the products, so as to minimize the strength of his right hand to get the best sound. An Xian often left the two situations are not in place, ① the middle finger to the character or more depend on the fingers Anxian too far away from the Timbre will lead to vibration of the strings to play goods or rubbing noise goods; ② finger Anxian from goods column too close, or to the product column, then even if the right hand plucked matter how skilled, nausea and even unable to pronounce the sound will sound to. Avoid both cases, the novice should be increased demands, to develop a rigorous and precise Anxian habits.


2, the left hand fingers An Xian and the cosine of the technical essentials

left in place in addition to attention and stand up, we should also note that when the left hand Anxian direction with cosine should vertical strings, so as to avoid frequent in the left hand press, cosine lot of noise when rubbing out, especially when playing bass strings wrapped around three hours must pay attention to the vertical rise and fall, which in the twentieth century, the modern guitar technology is very important.


in An Xian and cosine, the fingers should be perpendicular to the ups and downs, just like the VTOL aircraft, the vertical press or leaving the strings before a horizontal or vertical movement. To be clear: fingers, press and release the strings and the fingers should be clearly separate the mobile moves, it is two very different left hand Technique.


3, the left hand action on the left hand size and strength of the impact of technology

left hand the size range of motion and strength left Anxian the size of the technology has great influence on his left hand. Range of motion has several meanings, the first is the left hand should not move when not in use and action. The intensity used in the left hand Anxian different because of the guitar has changed, except for some, such as string is too high, the failure deformation of the guitar fingerboard, the general strength of An Xian is needed very small. An Xian force size should be used so that noise generated by the strings can be virtual Buzhi Yu. An Xian excessive force, not only will not produce any good sound effects, also lead to tension in the left hand, barriers to technological improvement; left Anxian excessive force is common problem in the guitar lovers, but this and other guitars As technical problems, it is difficult to resolve by a few words, superb guitar technique only on the technical mastery of movement and the right understanding of the basis, the use of scientific training methods, after a lot of patience and careful practice to really master, all three indispensable.


Exercise 1: left hand An Xian - cosine and mobile based practice


string section ⑤


① This is a string on the left with an empty string An Xian and downlink alternating chromatic exercises. During each session to complete the left hand must be the same means.


② left hand can easily stand up and first used in place of 2,3 refers to exercise control, then it means the practice 1,4.


③ This exercise can be used as the left hand first finger gymnastics on the right hand plucked before not to join. Lianshu then join the right hand.


④ join the right hand when first used by strings, p refer to elastic bass, i, m, a bomb a string with the allocation method, Lianshu can use after the high strings, im, ia, ma, or Other alternate bomb method. After trial by string Lianshu i, m, a practice not rely on strings.


⑤ this exercise can be the first to practice the bass sanxian to prevent noise generation, and then practice the high strings, we are here only to give examples of the fifth string, other strings on the practice please write the music spectrum, as written exercises, and then 11 Lianshu.


⑥ In addition to the first and last sections, each section can be repeated alone.


Exercise 2: Move the left hand by a cosine and further practice


string section ③


① This is a natural scale up and down exercise. Practice methods and requirements of the same scale as above and a half. Practice in other string please write their own.


② this exercise to train the left hand by a cosine and mobile, but also to practice the different string of phonemes into position, please sing while in practice the sound of the musical alphabet and the pitch years, at the same time solfeggio basic training.


③ certain students based on transfer of training to practice after completion c can also add a secondary number, two l No. ..., a flat, two tone flat ... and so on for further training .


④ Please use all of the above exercises in a slow practice, only when there is only one speed Lianshu for a faster speed.


⑤ this exercise is only the third string on the given example, the other strings please yourself first as a spectrum of practice to write to write music, and then 11 Lianshu.


4, for the technology


left hand guitar technique for the technology is extremely important. Guitar has 19 items as much character, but only four fingers Anxian fingers, how changes in the position to maintain the continuity and the smooth music depends largely on the technology for good or bad. Left panel in that the movement can be divided into two categories, one is finger strings from ① to ⑥ lateral movement between the strings, this movement is not normally a maximum not exceed the scope of ① to ⑥ string; s Type II is a finger position from low to high to place the vertical movement, as we have in front of press - cosine of a single practice that mobile practice is a kind of vertical movement, this movement has been a great change in the scope of many types, Therefore, in the left hand technique is more important for the practice is to move the left hand vertical of intensive training.


practice in learning for the place before we start to talk about the concept of the position, left hand in different positions that the board is called the high and low places, we often refer to a character on a different location to that where to place his left hand. If one refers to goods in a place called the first to place a product that at the 5th position, called the No. 5 position ... in the guitar music in the places used in English, Spanish or other languages, abbreviations, and followed by Arabic numerals, such as Pos5, P.6, C.8, B.7, etc., and sometimes the place is also alone Roman numerals, such as: Ⅰ Ⅱ Ⅲ Ⅳ Ⅴ Ⅵ Ⅶ Ⅷ Ⅸ Ⅹ Ⅺ, said first, second, third ... to the 11th to bit. Above except that the C & B also said that a plunge bit outside the place in this cross by.


for the exercises can be divided into four types, the first, only two kinds of movements when there is no beating action, we call the mobile for the third, four not only need to move the action to prepare, but also to jump to a new action for the position, we call for the beating. Change to:


move for the: first, the two kinds of movement preparation only, no beating action.


beat for the: third, to prepare and beat the four move into two steps.


② string below the first example we are given for the various exercises.


① other strings on the practice and ② the same string.


② fingering on a row to retain as much as possible, 4 that after the other means by a good shrink and then cosine do to prepare. Down by the time a means to prepare well before making a contract.


③ 2 left thumb always refers to the relative, and simultaneously move his left thumb can not appear for the lead or lag time phenomenon.


④ beat before shifting to the contraction when the preparations can not beat too much, should be changed to the second position when the degree of excessive tension and left hand technique easily lead to distortion.


⑤ beats, except the thumb, other fingers should leave the string after the campaign to prohibit the bow and slide; move in preparation for the contraction of inter Anxian finger, other fingers should follow this principle.


⑥ left hand to avoid rubbing the strings that rise and fall of the vertical noise.


5, technology advanced

to a certain extent as the daily training for students to practice, and other basic exercises can also be combined to achieve a better training effect, commonly used are ① ② combination of smooth rhythm changes in sound. Here are some of the changes in these two categories. For a certain degree of learning rhythm changes in practice


In addition, for the exercises can also be combined with massage techniques and the right chord plucked a different technology, and even ornaments to practice more in-depth exercises combined. Combination of smooth sound practice


6, sanxian on bass notes and exercises

1, string bass notes of the first to place


bit bass guitar sanxian first to see the picture on the right notes, corresponding to read music notes and fingering on the following:


① practice all over chord shells with a P means the law by playing.


② exercises were used for more than 4 / 4, 3 / 4 and 2 / 4 languages, please make a good beat, and beat time to practice, qualified students can use the beat machine.


③ Please note that the second exercise subsection 3 No. temporary lift, reduction number.


④ Article exercise also appeared in two sub-dot and dotted quarter notes, note time value of the division and beat the play.


2, bass string notes of the fifth to place


we see the fifth string bass notes to form a bit octave minor scale, the following we write the eight tone scale exercises for all four study:


① Article 2 and 4 exercises in a continuous eighth note appears, please note that Exercise eighth note half a beat beat of a sound play.


② appear in section 3 of the triplet exercises, pay attention to triplets to even beat time when attention to the number of each tone is \

③ reference work: more use of natural sound as natural minor, consisting of minor, minor, there are commonly used to increase every five are chromatic, become # 5, but also changed the structure of minor harmony Harmony minor, please practice on their own to change the sound of each of the above minor to practice, while read music to write this on the training spectrum.


① whole practice to place the whole play in the fifth.


② After this exercise can also be used as practice material Vibrato.


3 Exercises


this practice appears in the first string open string can be used ③ i refers to bombs, p means the shells can also be used. Exercise appears sound on the third string with his left hand pointed to by 2, and 5-P or im using the same means to bomb.


7, the high strings, the notes and exercises

1, the high strings, the first practice to place


guitar treble sanxian first to the fifth position to see the picture on the right to place the note, we start to learn the first to place the notes and their fingering. High strings, the first to place chorded practice, sanxian Exercises


① above the temporary lifting exercise sound more, please play carefully.


② Exercise 3 3 / 8 beat, such as the one to beat eighth note, a three-beat rhythm section with 3 / 4 rhythm is very similar to, pay attention to beat time to practice. ③ 1-4 exercises that can be the first one to practice with the right hand, then alternating shells law practice im 5 must use alternate exercises.


④ practice emerged in sixteenth note 5, each shot four tones, beginners can be a time when the first expansion of this section twice, each sound into a half a beat, as difficult a separate exercise, and then play the original spectrum in the time value.


2. high strings, the fifth bit of practice to


high strings, the formation of the fifth to place a note octave major scale, and the bass string to place the minor scale the fifth practice, we can use the eight composed of four tone scale exercises, as comprehensive music training capacity, please do not refer to the following first given in musical notation, can be the first to practice this myself read music sound with this composition and the last eight minor scale structure of about the same major scale exercises, and then get the following exercises control check, and then to practice.


① practice may have more ammunition with ima alternate method can also be used after the first use of im Lianshu ma ia or practice.


② above exercises can be used by the first chord elastic method, and then try not rely on strings bomb method.


③ reference practice: scale exercises in the pace of change can be effectively used to improve practice efficiency, in addition to the above changes in these rhythms, the use of dotted notes can not only practice scales practice dotted rhythms, and techniques for improving the right-hand man has very good results. Common dotted rhythm in two, make the above into practice a first dot and before the dot after the rhythm, Lianshu and grasp the rhythm before and after the dot, the then Exercise 2 and Exercise 3 into eighth note before and after the dot and to practice.


④ Please try to beat time to practice these exercises in order to cultivate a good sense of rhythm. Qualified students can use the beat machine.


small pieces: Star please give lectures on a small star over each octave voice to improve writing scores in the fifth to place high-scale performance.


3, the high strings Exercises


① note dotted rhythm with the beat of the play.


② music there at the end of the connection, when the sleek lines in between the two homophonous high sound referred to as \a time when the first sound can be extended to the second tone. If a connection to connect two or more different pitches, we also like to express these sounds to play in between the smooth, but in the guitar on \Please distinguish the difference.


① This small piece first appeared weak from the section, that's not the first film from the beginning, but starting from the third film weak beat, beat time when the number two film rests first and then from 3 beat started playing.


② last shot to extend the third section of the second tone mark, that the sound can be freely extended.


① This song is 6 / 8 beat, is composed of two 3 / 8 beat, beat of complex composition, beginners should practice shooting as a group every three, a dozen six-shot section.


② Note that the fourth film in each section appear dotted notes.


③ this song No. temporary rise more, please be careful not to bomb the wrong.


④ in the music there at the end of the first and second paragraph of the fourth goods fourth string # 4, left hand fingering rules should be followed by a 4 means, please do not mistake. P refers to the right hand can also use other means to bomb.


4, the high strings, the bit and the other to the first comprehensive exercise spaces


In addition to the fifth book, which talked about the change in the technology, the guitar in the actual performances, there are many practical for the method, the following combination of the above to explain the small pieces one by one.


⑴ for the use of the open string: if the music for the first time, from first to third place for the position, and from third to first place in exchange for the bits are is the use of the open string note on the ease of achieving the bit conversion, please use this music to find the empty string for the other place.


⑵ use of phrases or full stop to change the termination to: If this song for the second time, from first to third place for the position. Sometimes even the termination of the sections or phrases do not put a full stop, the actual playing time there will be little pause, the pause and rests on the same can easily change the order.


⑶ use slide or glide to change that to: if the music for the third time is the use of a product refers to the first slide from the second string for the third goods to a third the bit, the song the fourth is for the use of a product refers to the third slide from the first string is the fifth product, through the third to the fifth to the bit for bit.


commonly used for the above methods should be diligently practiced and flexibility, these methods can be ingeniously solved the technical difficulties for the effective and to reduce the difficulty of playing music flow naturally. However, these methods can not solve all problems, smooth playing most of the time only by a solid can be achieved for the basics, please change the emphasis on basic skills training.


5, treble strings and bass strings Exercises


2 scale exercise


in this exercise appear in a chord, chord shells law courses in the future we will learn in the first two chords can not bomb.


This is a three-mode into practice, the left hand fingering exercise frequently, from slow to begin.


comprehensive exercise in high and low, the left hand are generally not more difficult, but the arrangement of the right hand fingering is often troubled by the problem for beginners, in the actual performance, the right hand fingering is often more flexible arrangements, The performer is the right hand fingering (also including the left hand fingering), the arrangement often with a strong personal touch, often based players on the pursuit of sound and understanding of music, of course, there are often easy to play.


learning guitar for beginners or students, fingering exercises and arranging more convenient to consider the needs of a comprehensive exercise in the high bass, we recommend the following two methods can be used: ① P fingering ④ ⑤ ⑥ three strings sound, treble in any way with ima turn, which i, m the most commonly used alternative; ② full use of both high and low strings ima turn, then P that should remain in the unused right-handed bass strings to maintain stability, ima means Note that playing the bass strings with the strings when plucked the vertical direction should be to prevent the noise, in which fingering arrangement, sometimes in order to facilitate arrangements for right hand fingering, thumb also need to occasionally play a minimum of 12 sounds.


6, Guitar Advanced: High to place a down note and tune the elastic law No.


our picture on the right guitar fingerboard phonemic chart shows the high strings on the seventh to ninth place in the notes to, please, as a question for the seventh place in the notes to write more than 11 read music on blank and indicate fingering.


as homework, please make your own with a guitar the first product from the product of that board until the 12th phoneme map, marked strings from bass to treble strings, from low to high to place the position of each a natural sound, and also write the corresponding control memory read music, to lay a solid foundation for future progress.


This is the famous guitar song, \lay the foundation for studying composition of this melody. A number of tune down the performance and the number without lifting the C Major or a minor playing no essential difference, only need to see the key signature before playing, a few liters or flat, and to judge according to the location of lifting No. clearly need to rise or fall are what sound, then playing the sound when it came to these, either treble or bass, are down by half steps up or down numbers can be. Read music tune when the suggestion is to read a fixed spectrum, whether or not movements are conditioned by C, a roll call to read, required reading in front of the musical alphabet 1 l \

music first paragraph above, and G-flat minor with the e-clef, and only a secondary number is simple. The second paragraph of the same name to the E-flat major, there are four sharps, please carefully identification of. In addition, the music also appeared in the temporary lifting number, make sure to practice.


addition to the second paragraph in the music section in the ninth to sixth place performance, the rest are in 7-bit performance, please note that use of portamento to carry out the digital conversion. In the first paragraph of section 10 subsection 4 of that expansion occurred fingering, note that the expansion to remain in place when the four means and stand up.

music for the ABA three-paragraph body of Musical Composition, DC means that from scratch again, Fine is the end point.


8, broken chords guitar playing

beautiful sounding voice, rich and varied tone, coupled with smooth tone (with sound), ornaments and other techniques, as well as So not only beautify the violin tone can enhance the performance of musical emotion Vibrato,tenor guitar, this all makes guitar playing a melody is very charming. In addition to good at playing the guitar melody melody instrument characteristics, it is more important is also an acoustic guitar instrumental.


and piano, organ, accordion, like the guitar is acoustic instruments. Good at playing chords and chord accompaniment, which not only make the guitar sound is often accompanied by man (folk guitar is the best example); but also for other instruments or another guitar accompaniment, a common form: guitar and violin, guitar and flute ensemble (composers such as Paganini and Giuliani would make a lot of such works) or more instruments ensemble, such as: Guitar Quintet (such as Bokailini guitar quintet), guitar duo, trio , quartet, and even more commonly a guitar band, but also, and piano as a rhythm guitar while also playing a rich accompaniment of their own, which is why the piano or guitar music is often colorful, beautiful sounding, but a violin will have to separate the truth is much more monotonous, of course, melodic instruments such as violin or piano or band accompaniment when playing unaccompanied work will be completely different. At the same time, because the acoustic instruments can independently perform its own multi-voice music and complete harmony, the traditional orchestra not to include them.


learning in the professional music, except for the specialized instruments playing or singing, there are many courses are compulsory, such as basic music theory and acoustics, ear training, music history, music appreciation, etc. . One is to study and acoustic chords and chord application's basic course. Studied classical guitar in a number of guitar students and enthusiasts often have this misconception is that if learning folk guitar chords and accompaniment is electric guitars and things, and classical guitar does not matter, according to classical guitar music as long as a few bombs will tune on the line, it does not matter that do not know chords. This is an extremely harmful, music is a whole, which is closely related to each element and affect one another. Do not understand the music's harmonic structure, or even exist in many guitar lovers of music over the years and still do not know what the melody, tonality is what the musical structure is what, what is the background music ... how could such works have in-depth understanding and correct performance? Recommended every guitar enthusiast, whether classical or folk, or to learn electric guitar, they have to focus on basic music knowledge.


chord type and composition vary, but we see from the playing techniques, chords can be divided into two categories, one is polyphonic unison, that chord sounds the same time, as recorded in the pricked this chord line, so it is called pillar chords, and some have called the book continue to chords; second is the chords do not also issued, but the combination of a certain order has issued. (Repeated in a certain order is called Yin Xing), this chord is called broken chords or arpeggios.


, whether from the right hand or left hand playing techniques, the study than learning Unison chord broken chords are easier to grasp, here we all are very familiar with the Chalcedon 25 Etudes (Op. 60 ) in the second the first to learn playing chords decomposition method.


Study Guide:

1, this Etudes long,fender acoustic guitar, beginners can start learning the first paragraph.


2, this song note for a time when short, are sixteenth note, four tone for the film, when exercise should not be used for beginners to practice fast. Each voice can play a shot first practice, then play half a beat each sound practice, and finally in the correct basis of the master, then the original score of four sound bombs and one shot.


3, playing broken chords, in addition to P that should stop relying on outside of strings as far as possible, ima applications generally do not rely on strings bomb method. Beginners at first I was playing this song, if every shot shells in a tone and the two sound stages, first by strings all the way Pima practice will receive a better learning results.


4, when the note by the right hand string pronunciation practice the three steps, and pay attention to P and ima conversion to adjust the right hand.


5, do not rely on chord exercises, note ima that should only be large joint force, and plucked down, should not have to bait the action string, plucked up the pressure should be more down.


6, which are the two Etudes shoot a chord by chord all the time do not look good by the sound, you can use a good one by. Until replaced by a chord after a good date, left hand that should be retained.


7, when the left hand fingers Anxian each finger should be in place and stand up, according to some chords when the arms, wrists, fingers should be appropriate to make some adjustments to ensure the left hand with minimal force.


8, left hand for bass chord to make full use of the time value of the open string conversion, even when there is no open string can be used not for too early or too late.


9, the first broken chords Etudes Yin Xing ma emerged that alternately playing with a string of cases, beginners can change ma first Yinxing alternately refer to different strings, and then practice ma means alternately in the same string, so that both progressive, easy to master, but also received a double practice effect.


10, to learn this song in the scientific use of the beat when the machine will get very good results.
